Skip JSON format in rails generate scaffold

Question

respond_to do |format         


        

Answer 1

You'll notice that the JSON response is coded directly into the template for the rails generator here:

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/scaffold_controller/templates/controller.rb

I think something to note is that the scaffold generator is really intended to illustrate and moreover educate on how the Rails stack works, it shows how you can edit the controller to provide many different formats to suit your needs!
